Series Collection The SeriesCollection class is provided as a data source for the Chart control. This data source can be easily accessed at design time and run time. The series collection can contain one or more Series objects that are strongly typed and represent different structures of data that meet the require...
Set a Leaf Node’s Color using a TreeMapSeries Object If you are using a TreeMapSeries object as your data source, the ColorValueIndex property of each TreeMapDataPoint determines the color of the leaf nodes. The color value is relative to the minimum and maximum color values of your treemap chart. The colors of th...
Set a Treemap Chart’s Color Based on Hierarchical Level You can set the node colors in your treemap chart based on the hierarchical level of each node. The order in which PaintElements are added to the collection represents which level of your treemap chart will be affected. For example, the first PE in the collec...
Set Minimum and Maximum Data Values This topic will describe how the ZeroAligned property can be used to change the minimum and maximum data values of the Chart control’s axis. Depending on the value of this property, the data will either be charted from the minimum data value to the maximum data value, or from ze...
Set the Opacity of the Gradient Gradients can have an even more stunning effect when used in combination with opacity (transparency). Both the starting color value of the gradient (Fill) and the ending color value (FillStopColor) can be associated with a separate opacity value. This is exposed in the properties Fi...
Set the Shape of a Treemap Chart You can set the TreeMapType property of Chart to define the shape of the nodes in your treemap chart. You can set the TreeMapType property to: Circular — Nodes in the treemap chart are displayed as circles. Rectangular — Nodes in the treemap chart are displayed as rectangles. Rings...
Setting a Treemap Chart’s Colors Setting the node’s colors of your treemap chart is an important part of designing your treemap chart as it can alert your end users to changes over time. It can also help your end users to identify clusters of particularly significant data. For example, if your treemap chart mapped...
Smart Tickmarks Chart provides the feature of smart tickmarks. Enabling smart tickmarks will cause Chart to automatically determine the best possible Range and Interval for an axis, based on the data and the available space. Here is a typical column chart with Axis.Y.TickmarkStyle set to Percentage, and the Axis.Y...
Specify Row Labels Many chart types support automatic series labeling based on the first string column that is projected in a row. If another column specifies the desired series labels, then a row labels column can be specified. This topic describes how you can select row labels other than the default ones determi...
